  5. Name: Bromley Pageant of Motoring Summary: Bromley Ticket Cost: £6.00 Start Date: 09 June 2013 - 10:00 AM End Date: 09 June 2013 - 06:00 PM About the Pageant. Sunday 9th June 2013. The "Peter James Insurance" Bromley Pageant of Motoring is still the biggest one-day classic car show in the world! The Bromley Pageant of Motoring, the world's largest one-day Classic car show, will be promoted exclusively by Peter James Insurance in 2013. The Pageant is one of the highlights of the classic car calendar and we were delighted to also announce sponsorship from Classic Car Weekly, Practical Classics, Bromley Times and Auto Glym. The Pageant is established as something of an institution amongst enthusiasts from all over the world. Where else would you find more than 3,000 classics in one place! It is a superb celebration of this wonderful way of life - a true flavour of a by gone age - and provides one of the best opportunities available to soak up Bromley's unique atmosphere of friendly club stands, displays and fellow enthusiasts. This year's Pageant is building on previous years and promises to be better than ever with a number of added attractions, making this a great day out. Bromley Pageant is famous for its one-make section where vehicles of each make and model can be entered and parked together. From Ford Cortina's to Aston Martins more than 1600 cars featured in this area last year. Entries are now open for this incredible feature. Entry for the vehicle is free (both driver and passenger require tickets) and includes a free show programme and entry plaque. There is so much more with a huge Cars for Sale area, Fun Fair, Steam Engines, Trucks, Motorcycles, Modified Cars, the list goes on AND not forgetting one of the biggest classic vehicle trade shows in the UK with hundreds of Autojumble stands, and trade stands including the latest products, parts, services and new vehicles on display.

  12. Crazily Modified Ford Escorts With more than 4 million models sold during its 32-year lifespan, the Ford Escort is the best-selling car the UK has ever known. Although the car was a hit right from its launch in 1967, its popularity soared during the 1980s when sporty variants such as the XR3i and RS1600i, along with the cabriolet and RS Cosworth, made the Escort the favourite of boy racers all over the country. The car remains popular to this day and when well-looked after examples come up for sale on sites such as Netcars.com, as they do from time to time, they tend to go for prices significantly higher than you would expect to pay for that age of car. With a vast array of alloy wheel options, body kits and engine modifications available at a good price, the Escort was the perfect base vehicle for anyone who wanted to create something truly unique without breaking the bank. Visitors to a recent classic car show were treated to the site of a pristine Mk 1 Escort which had been modified with flared wheel arches. Engine modifications for this model range from the standard 1.3 all the way to a V8. (http://www.modifiedcars.com/cars/31387/modified-ford-escort-pictures) Another popular modification, especially for those looking to enter the world of 2WD rallying at a low cost, is to replace the standard Escort engine with a Honda K20 power unit or 2.1 litre Ford Pinto engine. (http://www.modifiedcars.com/cars/30135/modified-ford-mk1-escort--gulf-racing-1971-pictures) Escort vans lend themselves very well to modification and all the Cosworth and other sporting body kit fits like a dream over the front end with plenty of skirts and spoilers available for the cargo area. The end result is usually a vehicle that looks like a miniature version of the one driven by the A Team. (http://www.modifiedcars.com/cars/22186/modified-ford-escort-van-1994-pictures) As a hatchback, the Escort is well suited to having its rear seats removed and replaced with high-powered audio equipment. If these modifications are combined with the oversized rear spoiler from the RS Cosworth model and an eye-catching paint job, the result can be stunning. (http://www.modifiedcars.com/cars/19220/modified-ford-escort-mk4-xr3i-1989-pictures) One of the most amazing Escort modifications around belongs to a man named Shane. Not only have the back seats and rear portion of this black 1997 model been replaced by an array of speakers and amplifiers but all the units are illuminated by neon. (http://www.modifiedcars.com/cars/20075/modified-ford-escort-1997-pictures) Then there is the black and red 1995 Escort estate in which the doors have been modified to move up and over the top of the vehicle, like the wings of a fly (http://www.modifiedcars.com/cars/25560/modified-ford-escort-wagon-1995-pictures), the nitrous-boosted green and yellow Mark 1 which is so powerful the front wheels lift off the ground each time the owner puts his foot down (http://www.modifiedcars.com/cars/28767/modified-ford-escort-mk1-2000cc-1970-pictures) and the 1.3 L 1989 model with a heavily customised interior decked out in a video game theme (http://www.modifiedcars.com/cars/27479/modified-ford-escort-mk4-5dr-1.3l-1989-pictures). The RS Turbo Cabriolet has always been a stunning car in its own right but even high-powered variant can benefit from modification. This particular owner has opted to make the most of the modifications under the bonnet, giving few clues to other motorists about just how much more powerful this car has become. (http://www.modifiedcars.com/cars/16649/modified-ford-escort-cabriolet-rs-turbo-1990-pictures). By contrast this cabriolet owner has added the full Cosworth body kit but left the standard 1.6 efi engine in place. (http://www.modifiedcars.com/cars/17841/modified-ford-escort-cabriolet-1995-pictures).
